1:72 ESCI "8th Army (My first small scale try!!)

Yep ! Here comes the time to try my skills ( and my eyes!!) on this scale!I have lots of figures collected and I always had it in my mind. So I started with some familiar figures for me. I have painted 8th Army sometimes in the past so it would be easy for a start..
These figures are from the 1983 ESCI set 207. Not the full set but just five figures.

With this set I tried a new product also. The "Anti-Shine Matt Varnish" for brush from Army Painter Warpaints. Now I wonder how did I never try this in the past !! I was always using spray varnishes and never was quite satisfied as now... I thing my problems are gone on this issue..:)

I wan to say "Thank You" to all the small scale painters out there who had inspired my and motivate me all this time with their post and painting skills and make me wanna be a part of that scale :)

Here are some close up pictures below from my first 1:72 figures. Criticize or advising comments are always welcomed!

and one white and bright for the finale..!

Thanks for watching and stay tuned for some more of these little fellows..:)

Thank you Peter! Unfortunatelly I don't have the rest of the set :)I had these figures in my spares box and started with them as a test! I'm working now on some British infantry , but also incomplete :(You'll see them in the next post!
